That push to manual focus tip is killer!

I've watched a lot of a7sii reviews, but I thoroughly enjoyed this one, and was super helpful practically. Thanks a lot Kraig!

This is one of the best reviews of this camera I've seen.

Great video. Lots of good tips. The only thing I disagree on is the auto ISO. You run the risk of the camera changing the colour of a shot if the lighting changes inside or if a big cloud comes along when shooting outside. You don't want that happening at an important moment! I'll try out your picture profile later on.

[VinnySangha]

Also that exposure meter will be your best friend when using the A7Sii, always trust it and look through the viewfinder often for more accurate results.

You should check out 323 quick release plates. They're much smaller than the 501 plates of Manfrotto and are perfect for DSLRs and mirrorless. All the wedding videographers here in the Philippines use em, and they're awesome and you'll never have that flip screen problem ever again. China-made ones go for $10 on amazon, and the original Manfrotto ones go for $35.

Thank you, still relevant 5 years later. Just shot with it for the first time. 😊

Nice camera review. I shot at that location (La Venta Inn, Palos Verdes, CA) a few years ago & the views were magnificent.
There was a steep hill around the wedding gazebo though so it was difficult to set up extra cameras.

Great review! I actually didn't expect you to not shoot in 4K for weddings. Never even thought about that. haha

[RSTeong]

Wow. You answered all my questions in one video, and completely sold me on getting the A7Sii. Time to say goodbye to my GH4 👋🏻

[ThisIsWideAngle]

Damn, THIS is the channel I was looking for. Great video!

[noidnoexit]

Woah! I'm also using autumn leaves creative style! Cheers!

[studiosequinoxe]

Such a nice review! Thank you very much for your clarity and YOUR opinion on this camera :)! The way its useful for you and what are you using to make your video look better!

[YogKaim]

This was a very useful video for me. I have never touched the af/mf toggle on my A6300 until now. OMG. What a life changer. Due to the ultra fast autofocus on it, a quick tap on that button and I'm sharp. I don't think I'll ever need to turn the focus ring again. Thank you very much.

best video about Sony a7s II i see ever

[EliasJRosario]

What about DRO? Great video and I like your approach to no picture profiles. Shot and edited my first wedding two weeks ago with SLOG 3 (Overexposing 2 Stops) and yeah it is quite a bit of work. Your videos have been very helpful!

[zhenyasuns]

Kraig! It will be really interesting to compare a7s and a7s II. Can you make a comparing video or even a review of a7s?

[joshantolin]

awesome review! i'm a 5d user and planning to buy either A7sii or the new a6500.. besides the price concern, would you recommend A7sii than A6500? thanks!

[ProfoundProductions]

Love using our A7s ii for receptions but prefer using 2 GH4s during the ceremony.

[eyesnb]

i still prefer the 70D, cheap and come with dual pixel AF, flip to side LCD, touch focus, face detection ...
